Background
My journey into the beauty industry as a bridal hair and makeup artist in Berkshire began later in life. After completing a degree in Linguistics and raising three children, I sought a flexible career path. Surrounded by creativity from an early age—my father a tailor and my mother a trained beautician—I frequently visited beauty salons, learning routines and the value of skincare from my mother and grandmother. This background naturally led me to thrive in the hair and beauty world.
Career
After studying at Brentwood Academy of Health & Beauty and the London School of Beauty and Makeup, I worked as a Beauty and Sales Consultant for top makeup brands. Driven by my desire to run my own business, I pursued further qualifications, completing NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Women’s Hairdressing and Theatrical, Special Effects, Hair, and Media Makeup courses. In November 2015, I launched my business as a wedding and bridal hair and makeup artist.
Since then, my career has thrived, particularly in creating wedding and event looks. My portfolio reflects the diverse styles and techniques I use to bring each client’s vision to life. I love the job and find joy in exceeding expectations with my creativity and skills.
Products
My career as a bridal hair and makeup artist in Berkshire took a transformative turn when I began suffering severe reactions to chemical-laden products. Frequent visits to A&E for antihistamines and painkillers left me determined to find a solution. After numerous medical appointments yielded no answers, I took matters into my own hands. In July 2019, I started formulating my own products and delved into natural cosmetics. This shift enabled me to offer wedding clients and brides natural and organic haircare and styling solutions, safeguarding my health while contributing to a healthier planet.
Services
Based in my home-based garden studio in Berkshire, I offer specialized hair and makeup services for weddings, e-commerce, and photographic projects. When I’m not working with clients, I focus on studying and formulating natural haircare and skincare products.
Passionate about hair, makeup, and natural beauty, I am a friendly, professional, and reliable stylist. My creativity and dedication shine through in every look I create, reflecting my commitment to femininity and bespoke beauty.
